Given that there is not way to update the formatting of multiple columns at a time, is there a way to have Power Bi use the formatting in the Excel. For instnace, if the field in Excel is a percentage (%) with two decimals, is there a way to have Power BI use that for its formatting. I have tried connection formatted Excel sheets but I end up having to go back and do it again in Power BI. I loaded a sample table through the web interface and it worked great but it doesnt work when using desktop. If there was a way to link tables on the web I wouldnt need the desktop. So I can either link tables and have to format each column one at a time or use the web which picks up when it is a %, $ etc and not have linked tables. Am I misisng something?
